Hi I think much of the mapping recently in Kilkenny has been down to a single user who, like anyone, might not appreciate the issue or have the skillset to identify or map different building types. They may have misinterpreted "Map all the buildings!". There are certain features where many

I would say its a matter of design. The focus has been to get all the buildings done for the island. Perhaps some training could be added to help identify the different buildings. Talking to people who didn't grow up in Ireland there can be things that are not obvious, about telling some buildings

With regards it being easier, it is if you don't opt to make it easier to do otherwise at the outset. For example, using iD, your last 4 tags applied appear each time you create a new feature. You only need use house/shed/garage/farm_auxiliary once for them to appear. In fact you have to do the

It is typically much faster to add just geometries. Maybe whoever was doing this is not so interested in value of building tag? Or maybe a mistake was made somewhere? 25 Jan 2020, 09:43 by davecor...@gmail.com: > I'll rephrase the question.  > > Why are these buildings being tagged with the

I'll rephrase the question. Why are these buildings being tagged with the least descriptive tag rather than utilising a more descriptive tag which can be easily done in approx 90% of cases from imagery? As I said, maybe I'm missing something here and there is a logical explanation as to why this
